Wrong license plate but is identical to our 06 V70 AWD (ok slightly different badges on the rear as our is the 2.5T, AWD. and has a Polestar tune badge). I do like the Titanium Grey paint!

It had randomly odd taillights - some bright, some half bright, some not working.

This 122 has been parked in that condition and about that spot for YEARS. It has Disabled Veteran plates, so I’m sure it has a story.

The wagon is SO SAFE.

Yea, my son and I are here. Ouray tomorrow for a night, then back home. I asked my son where he wanted to go for our summer road trip this year and he said Durango again. I took him here two years ago and we had a blast. Durango is charming. I'll add some photos to the Road Trip subforum when we get back.
